The ridicule and scorn caused by a legal threat intended to suppress information.
Named after Charles Carreon, a self-proclaimed "Internet lawyer" who came to Internet infamy by attempting to silence Matthew Inman a.k.a The Oatmeal who had spoken out over another website's copyright infringement and their refusal to take down the infringing material. The complaint led to a charity fundraiser (which Carreon also tried to shut down, without success) and several Internet denizens attacking him via email and phone and hacking his website. Carreon eventually filed a motion of dismissal, ending the case.
Not to be confused with the Streisand Effect.

Get the Drizzy effect mug.Something too big to fit in something else and no matter what you do it will never fit. For example a whale in a bathtub, an elephant in a doorway or a sausage in a keyhole.
That bed will never fit through that door because of the liam effect.
Rabbits don't give a fuck about the liam effect they can get through anything.
Did you hear about Will and Sarah last night? Liam Effect.

Get the Liam Effect mug.When a sequel gets so much hype and publicity the majority of newcomers to the series are casual fans who know nothing of the past games/movies in the series.
So when is Skyrim 2 coming out?
Skyrim is actually part five in the series excluding the additional games. Take it you never heard of Oblivion either. Classic example of the Skyrim Effect.
